Objective To analyze the medical value of applying respiratory rehabilitation nursing in the clinical nursing plan of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods 76 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who received treatment between January 2022 and December 2023 were enrolled in the experimental study. They were then randomly divided into a control group (n=38) receiving routine nursing care and an observation group (n=38) receiving respiratory rehabilitation nursing care. Compare respiratory function, assisted breathing muscle mobilization score, and exercise score. Results Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference in the indicators between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After nursing, the observation group had better FEV1, FEV1/FVC, assisted respiratory muscle mobilization score, and MRC score than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of respiratory rehabilitation nursing in the clinical nursing plan of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can improve respiratory function, reduce respiratory muscle work, increase exercise ability, and benefit patients.
